<p>I am currently doing a Masters of comp sci and will be done next year. My question is will I have a better chance getting into an MBA program when they see not only i have 3-5 years work experience but another graduate degree? I am curious how much weight they put that into consideration.</p>
<p>Also another question (without making a new post), I didn't have good GPA for my undergrad year but my GPA for grad is great , will MBA programs consider the undergrad GPA more or the graduate GPA? I would think they see me "evolving" than looking at something years ago.</p>
<p>I think it will help. Getting your Masters shows focus and dedication to your career field. </p>
<p>While most GPAs will be better in a Masters program, due to the fact that most Masters programs require a better GPA to stay in. Regardless, having the Masters alone says you have a decent gpa. I hope that makes sense. In short, don't worry about the gpa.</p>
<p>What you need to show is an increasing level of responsibility in your career. It's all nice and fine that you got a Masters and that shows you love your job. However, an MBA is generally something leaders go for and a Master is something SMAs go for, especially in technical fields. So, I would focus my essays on this and try and get a position that shows that you don't want to be the tech grunt, a promotion that wasn't based on your education level or advance degree would be worthwhile.</p>
<p>I see. I definitely want to manage people later on in my career - i am too lazy to learn new coding languages, techs when i am late 30s and on. But since MBA doesn't particular help me learn new technical skills how much will it help for me in getting higher position in technical field? I am also interested in hedge funds as well so maybe I can branch there later.</p>
